I actually prefer Adventure Express to be hidden. I think it adds to the ride experience.

Might as well do two days at SFGAm. I loved that park.

Because if the management wants to fix the theming around the park, they need to start with consistency. Why hasn't Adventure Express' theming ever operated consistently? The same could be asked of Flight of Fear and even Starlight Spectacular and the Royal Fountains to an extent. How long has theming sat broken? I think the powers that be are interested in minimal theming which is why I think Backlot Stunt Coaster is what it is today. Management needs to show consistency all across the board before jumping in to a huge project that they're not ready for.

I'll bet that a lot of people didn't even use the fountain. It was so far off the beaten path that only people going to Snowy River Rampage would make use of it. I loved it though, and I was sad to see that it got removed.

It's just the way things are done. It doesn't make any difference if it's called a driver or if it's called a potato.

Ride Banshee at least once.

^If I were to guess, it would be the cables locking into position. Up until the "ka-chunk" you're still moving up the tower and it isn't until the click that you actually stop moving.

I like the picture of the Kings Island sign. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome pictures! The picture you took of the Royal Fountains is amazing.

I second Terp. Those are some really good pictures you took!

Great pictures! Glad you could enjoy your day with your family. Thanks for sharing!

The park doesn't want their brands to become generic like so many other ones. Xerox? Kleenex? Big Dipper? Cedar Fair would prefer that their names can only be used by Cedar Fair parks, and getting rid of complacency helps a ton.

I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there's nothing huge going on with Banshee right now. Side conversations are the most interesting thing happening in this topic since track work completed. Let's all calm down.

K, so I've seen the word "don't" capitalized in places where it shouldn't be. Methinks it's a minor issue with the new filter Dane put in this afternoon. This isn't a huge problem, but I couldn't find any better place to put my question. Thanks!

Those who know don't talk. Those who talk don't know.

Perhaps we can include a "no tolerance rule" for capitalization in the TOS? It's about time they're updated anyways, seeing as how they haven't been updated since ~2010.

But in the exact same spot for the entire season? No effort to clean it off? The same patterns on most seats?Not trying to say that the Illuminati has some role in this, but it doesn't necessarily sound like it happened by accident.

Who cares about the records if the ride is crap? For example "the world's only Giant TopSpin!"

Regarding the Diamondback seats: I don't think it's any sort of dirt because the marks are never washed off, even when the trains are hosed down after a protein spill or just daily routine maintenance. It is also just too coincidental to find the marks in the same place on every seat to believe it's dirt.

Timberwolf is used for other special events like Music in the Parks as well.

You definitely need to go to Busch Gardens Tampa. Don't let admission stop you from going. It's a very beautiful park and has a ton of killer attractions.

There's absolutely no reason to remove all those trees at the front of the park for a coaster that could easily go behind Banshee, Adventure Express, or Firehawk. Also, lines do not indicate popularity. Flight Deck almost never had a line, but that doesn't mean it was unpopular.

I'm pretty sure the state of Action Zone won't be decided based upon one bathroom.

Drop Tower plays "Right Now" by Van Halen.

Stashua: I would think it's pretty silly to put the plaza in the middle of the midway when the ride's entrance is so far away. TB: I could understand where you're going with it, and I wouldn't necessarily be mad with this idea, but I feel like the lockers would be best placed by the entrance of Banshee since the lockers are intended for the ride.
